ACC seeks files of Hosaf Group power projects
Unb, Dhaka
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sought three files from the Power Division on power projects awarded to Hosaf Group by the immediate-past BNP-led alliance government. The projects are 50MW Noapara plant, 20MW Feni Plant and 20MW Barabkunda Plant. All the three plants were supposed to be installed on rental basis. But the present caretaker government cancelled all the three projects along with some other ones on charges of massive irregularities and corruption. Official sources said this is the first time the ACC sought files from the Power Division to investigate irregularities. Nearly two months ago, a special taskforce on the power ministry, headed by Major General Abdul Wadud, took the three files to investigate the alleged corruption and irregularities, but the files were not given back to the Power Division. A senior official of the Power Division told the news agency that either they will send the original files to the ACC if they get back those from the taskforce or will send the duplicate ones to the anti-graft body.
